al student population, who might
not be aware of the candidates or
the issues involved.
Brooklyn’s running mate, Joy
Nair, added they have a strong base
of volunteers who will also help
them campaign.
Eric Bailey, who is also running
for Executive, said his campaign
will also be more visible as he tries
to gain votes.
“We’ll be out on 13th [Avenue]
... wearing our shirts and handing
out fliers,” presidential candidate
Eric Bailey said. “We’ll just try to be
available.”
Bailey said he and his running
mate, Jeff Oliver, are planning oth
er specific campaigning events for
later in the week as they work to
keep momentum going through a
96-hour Election Day.
“In an ideal world, we’d prefer to
have more time to prepare,” Bailey
said. “Campaigning for four days is
pretty hard, [but] given the circum
stances, four days is best.”
But candidate Bret Jacobson and
his running mate, Matt Cook, both
said they’re looking forward to the
final push to the primary election.
“Even though it’s a strain, we
love what we’re doing, and we’re
going to keep going,” Jacobson said.
Cook said the pair will also revis
it many student groups and make
the crucial push to assure students
don’t just support them, but that
they also vote.
“It’s all gone very quickly, but it’s
also been very educational,” Cook
said.
Brooklyn said she and Nair will
try to stay enthusiastic and keep
morale up past Monday, so their
volunteers don’t lose momentum,

either. Brooklyn added that, be
sides the issues, the key for her
campaign will be eating well and
not “sugaring out.”
“The key words: Excitement and
protein,” Brooklyn said.
The top two candidates in each
race on the ballot will advance to
the general election March 5-8. But
a candidate or ticket can win out
right if it garners more than 50 per
cent of the vote in the primary.
Green Party
continued from page 1
Recent events held by the cam
pus chapter of the Green Party have
mirrored the focus determined at
the convention.
“Just last week we held a teach
in on campaign finance reform,”
campus party member Michelle
Averbeck said. “Right now we’re
trying to do a lot to educate stu
dents.”
Lane County Pacific Green Party
members shared some of the at
tempts they have made toward
campaign finance reform in Lane
County. Their efforts have focused
on campaign finance reform per
taining to the Eugene City Council
and mayoral races by working with
the Lane County Charter Review
Committee.
“We’ve been reviewing election
rules for Lane County and initiating
conversation with committee mem
bers,” Lane County Pacific Green
Party official Mark Baldwin said.
“We’ve been working on that be
cause the cost of City Council races
has risen 600 percent over the past
four years.”
Lane County Green Party, which
hosted the convention, will en
dorse the statewide party focus
while putting local efforts toward
energy issues and the development
of self-sustaining energy sources.
Party member Tim O’Shea said the
local chapter sees a real need to
find more viable energy sources.
“With respect to the environ
ment,” he said. “These are the most
cost-efficient options available.”
With a gasoline-electric hybrid
Honda Insight parked in front of the
hall and Izabella, a large friendly
dog, wondering about inside, this
convention didn’t resemble your
typical political convention.
“We really try to put the ‘party’ in
Green Party,” party co-founder Deb
orah Howes said. “At each event
we hold we try to have some sort of
festivities, have some sort of fun.”
Near the end of the convention
Sunday, party members gathered in
the center of the performance hall,
formed a circle while holding
hands and told others what they
had gained from the conference
and how they benefited from at
tending.
Some members expressed their
displeasure with the recent elec
tions, while others expressed their
gratification with the opportunity
to learn about other chapters and
local issues across the state.
“I do very much like the energy
and the ideas this party holds,” one
party member told the group.
“I really appreciate the sincere at
tempt toward consensus gathering
and the truly democratic process this
party allows for,” another member
from a newly formed chapter said.
The next Pacific Green Party con
vention will be held June 8-10 at
Camp Myrtlewood near Coos Bay.

Green Party and the next conven
tion can be found at www.pacific
